At the latest run 12th of 23 in the G1 Melbourne Cup at Flemington on November 3 over 3200m, slow going 8 len behind Point Of Law carrying 56.5kg at $41. The run before that 14th of 18 in the G1 Caulfield Cup on October 17 over 2400m, 10 len behind Kingswood with 55kg at $31. Not going badly but this looks too tough.

Racing well recently. Most recently won by 0.5 len in the G1 Caulfield Cup on October 17 over 2400m defeating Saint George with 55kg at $26. The run before that 4th in a small field in the G1 Might And Power Stakes at Caulfield on October 10 over 2000m, 1.75 len behind Land Legend carrying 59kg at $12. Rates highly off the Caulfield Cup win, go close.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming 9th of 13 in the G3 Geelong Cup on October 21 over 2400m, 6 len behind Point Of Law carrying 60.5kg at $19. Second-up ran last of 23 in the G1 Melbourne Cup at Flemington on November 3 over 3200m, slow going 30 len behind Point Of Law with 56.5kg at $61. Back in trip suits but need to see him.

Returns from a 31-day let-up. Last start ran second last of 12 in the G3 Coongy Cup at Caulfield on October 14 over 2000m, 10 len behind Ziryab with 58kg at $21. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 13 in the G3 Jra Cup at Caulfield on September 27 over 2000m, 4.5 len behind Royal Supremacy with 55.5kg at $20. Not keen on his chances this time.

Recent form sound. Last start made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 23 in the G1 Melbourne Cup at Flemington on November 3 over 3200m, slow going 4 len behind Point Of Law with 55kg at $14. Before that won by 0.5 len in the G2 Moonee Valley Cup at Flemington on October 24 over 2500m defeating Kings Valley carrying 58kg at $7.50. Very good in the Cup and back in trip no issue at all.

Last start 10th of 23 in the G1 Melbourne Cup at Flemington on November 3 over 3200m, slow going 7 len behind Point Of Law with 56.5kg at $17. The start before that eased back early on 8th of 12 in the G1 Ws Cox Plate at Flemington on October 24 over 2040m, 7 len behind Cosmic Crusader with 59kg at $71. Okay in the Cup, not sure this sets up as well for him.

At the latest run got back early 12th of 18 in the G1 Caulfield Cup on October 17 over 2400m, 7 len behind Kingswood carrying 53.5kg at $61. The run before that ran last of 13 in the G1 Turnbull Stakes at Flemington on October 3 over 2000m, on a wet track; 43 len behind Cosmic Crusader carrying 56.5kg at $71. Has a bit to find.

Most recently raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 10 in the G3 Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Flemington on November 7 over 2600m, 4 len behind Pinhole carrying 55kg at $26. Before that raced on the pace before fading 12th of 16 in the G2 Moonee Valley Cup at Flemington on October 24 over 2500m, 4.5 len behind Juja Kibo with 57.5kg at $61. Likely to find this out of reach.

Most recently was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 0.6 len in the LR Sydney Gold Cup at Randwick on October 31 over 2000m defeating Barrengarry with 56.5kg at $15. Before that 7th of 14 in the G2 Kingston Town Stakes at Randwick on September 19 over 2000m, 3.5 len behind The Euphrates with 56kg at $12. Huge win latest and can strip fitter with J-Mac taking over.

Second-up. First-up after two months sat on the pace when 2nd of 13 in the G3 Geelong Cup on October 21 over 2400m, 0.5 len behind Point Of Law with 54.5kg at $5.50. Previously second-up 2nd of 17 at Listowel on May 30 over 3319m, 1.0 len behind Gomez Addams carrying 75.5kg at $3.50. Chased the Cup winner fresh, will take beating.

Form hard to fault. Last start ran on from midfield; 2nd of 10 in the LR Melbourne Cup Day Plate at Flemington on November 3 over 1800m, slow going neck behind Sabaj with 54kg at $4.80. The run before that made ground from midfield; 2nd of 12 in the G3 Coongy Cup at Caulfield on October 14 over 2000m, long-neck behind Ziryab carrying 55kg at $3. Unlucky latest but this is tougher.

The start before that 7th of 13 in the G1 Turnbull Stakes at Flemington on October 3 over 2000m, on a wet track; 10 len behind Cosmic Crusader with 55kg at $21. Won this last year but has a bit to find off the Caulfield Cup run.

Most recently 18th of 23 in the G1 Melbourne Cup at Flemington on November 3 over 3200m, slow going 16 len behind Point Of Law with 53kg at $81. The start before that ran last of 16 in the G2 Moonee Valley Cup at Flemington on October 24 over 2500m, 14 len behind Juja Kibo with 55kg at $81. Not going well enough.
